I dont know if this was posted before, but I thinked on a great idea for a plugin or msgplus (would be better on msgplus ).

My idea is how about having the chance to select where to put a file depending of what file is..
Example: Something.jpg *.bmp *.png --> This goes to "My pictures"
                Something.mp3 *.wav --> This goes to "My music"
                Others like *.exe *.dll *.EXT --> To the defalt folder "My recieved files"

Tell me, what do you think? =)

Its a good idea, not sure it would be possible without editing the messenger protocol though i'm afraid, and this is illegal, therefore patchou will stear clear from it, some of the plugin creators may work on it though, its a great idea.

This is included in File Transfer Plus!

That really doesn't need to involve the protocol in any way...All Plus would have to do would just change the incoming directory just as you click accept...

Had a quick look and I can't see anything like this in the options, and when someone sends a file all I see is an ability to choose where to save that file. Just as you can with a standard transfer...

Forgive me for being the party pooper, but really is it that much harder to click "Save as..."? I know I'd love this feature but I really was thinking it's a minor need of convenience, that some people may get tangled up in and get confused. I know a few people who would keep forgetting and wondering where each file was saved.
This has been suggested before, but yeah overall I'd like to see it in the long term, first of all I want some newer features rather than these small matters of convenience...

It is a good idea because it would save you having to look through a folder full of junk that people would have sent you. Believe me, you get alot of stuff in there over some time

You could even make a batch file that sorts files based on extension...

code:

---

@echo off
move *.jpg "..\My Pictures"
move *.gif "..\My Pictures"
move *.wmv "..\My Videos"

---

...place it in your Recieved Files folder, and run it once a week/month...

There is a plugin to sort the files, but u need to sort it after download. But it would be a great idea.

Il post the plugin in case u want it

It stops the commands that are run from being displayed, so the output looks nicer. It's completely optional.
